Aron Gunnarsson of Cardiff City and Yanic Wildschut of Norwich City compete for the ball

Who is Yanic Wildschut?

Yanic Wildschut is a 26-year-old Dutchman who the Bluebirds have signed on loan from Championship side Norwich City.

What position does he play?

Wildschut is a winger and can operate on both flanks.

He is also capable of playing more centrally, and his versatility would no doubt be a huge plus for the Bluebirds.

Which clubs has he played for?

The Dutchman is a product of Ajax's famed youth academy, although he never featured for the Eredivisie giants' first team.

His professional bow came with FC Zwolle while he first came to prominence in the UK at Middlesbrough who he joined in 2014 after spells with VVV-Venlo and Heerenveen as well as a loan period at ADO Den Haag.

Yanic Wildschut in action for Norwich City

He moved to Wigan Athletic - who he joined on loan in the 2015-16 season - two years later having made just 16 appearances in all competitions for Boro.

Wildschut joined Norwich for a fee believed to be in the region of £7m during the 2017 January transfer window, putting pen to paper on a two-and-a-half year deal with the Canaries.
